OBJECTIVE 1:
Determine the level of commitment by the Francis Howell School District to fund technology and determine funding sources.
STRATEGIES:
A dedicated funding source will be identified to support Technology resources
ACTION STEPS:
1
Create a technology fund with dedicated resources
2
Ensure the budget for technology is sufficient to obtain the hardware, software, infrastructure, connectivity, and maintenance needed to support all educational programs and administrative services.
3
Ensure TCO (total cost of ownership) that includes acquisition, required connectivity and infrastructure, support personnel and supplies, replacement or updating hardware, required software and peripherals.
4
Apply for funding through the Universal Service Fund (eRate) each year to obtain and support technology resources.
5
Continue to seek supplemental funding through available federal, state, local and business grants.
OBJECTIVE 2:

ACTION STEPS:
1
Continue to analyze internet connection bandwidth and infrastructure requirements annually and update as required (servers, switches, wireless equipment, security, Internet content filtering, and other system software and resources).
2
Define minimum technology model for classrooms and specialty areas
3
Define ideal technology model for classrooms and specialty areas
4
Conduct a printer versus copier utilization analysis
5
Provide copiers in each building that can be accessed through the data network for printing and supplement with network printers as needed to maintain sufficient printing capacity.
STRATEGIES:
Up-to-date technology tools and resources will be readily available to support curriculum objectives and parent involvement
ACTION STEPS:
1
Implement a web-based tool that allows parents to pay for all student fees online
2
Ensure that technolgoy is represented during the curriculum review process
OBJECTIVE 3:
To evaluate and implement a computer lease/purchase plan in conjunction with a refurbish/obsolescence component.
STRATEGIES:
The District will develop a technology policy which will ensure district-wide standards including replacement cycle and classroom requirements
ACTION STEPS:
1
Determine a comprehensive lease refurbish plan
2
Maintain a four-year computer replacement cycle that ensures systematic and timely deployment of the new computers as well as the relocation of the replaced computers in classrooms for student use
